A wonderful gesture, Dan. I'd like to be entered. If I were to win, the peanut would go to my Dad. He carried a yellow 'nut for years and years, only to have it confiscated when he forgot the little guy in his pocket when he had to go into a courthouse for work. He was really broken up about it. I gifted him a sodbuster to replace it, but I know he still misses that knife. He and my Grandpa were my biggest influences when it came to carrying a slipjoint, but I'd also give a big nod to Carl and Charlie (Waynorth). I never figured out how to free-hand sharpen until I watched Carl's instinctive sharpening videos, and I never knew about the wonderful world of Boy's knives until I saw some scans from some of the beauties in Charlie's collection. All the regulars here, though, keep me on track and appreciating these wonderful, simple knives!
